The GSI immediately formed an emergency team and started investigating to uncover the situation of tsunami damage. We emphasized on promptness in the beginning of the survey, created the "Tsunami flood area overview map" with a purpose of improving the accuracy in our best effort over time, and kept on distributing the maps to the municipalities of the affected areas, the national disaster response headquarters etc, while also releasing this information on the GSI website. In addition to calculating the areas of inundation by the municipalities and by land use, an attempt was made to analyze the distance and elevation reached by tsunami in coastal Miyagi Prefecture. Furthermore, elevation was measured precisely by aerial laser survey mainly on areas where ground subsidence occurred due to the earthquake, and high precision elevation data and the digital elevation topographic map have been prepared/provided. 1. Creating an inundation area overview map There are two types of error cause which are 1.1 Method of creation "interpretation error" and "error in transferring onto Immediately after the tsunami disasters triggered by topographic map". Since single (aerial) photographs are the Tohoku Pacific Coast Earthquake on March 11th, the used for the interpretation, difference in landform GSI decided to create an "Tsunami flood area overview interpretation skills has little effect on the former, whereas map" to find out the situation of tsunami damage, and landform interpretation skills would be required to minimize created a damage overview map and also discussed about the latter.
